Top trade position leaves you impoverished

Found this post on Indeed. They are looking for someone who has dedicated a minimum of ten years into a trade and will pay them nowhere near enough to live off of. This company is based in Menlo Park, CA where the average house price is $2,550,440 according to Zillow. A basic house for “the poor folk” would cost around $800,000 for a monthly mortgage payment (if you managed to get the $160,000 for a downpayment) of $4,930. At the top of the pay range you get $5712 after taxes. So a decade of working up to not being able to afford food. Not to mention that they say they encourage “cross training” which translates to “we will make you do things you aren’t trained in or want to do.”
